Releasing New Packages

Follow these steps to release new packages from your monorepo:

1. Create a new Branch:

Begin by creating a new branch. Base it on the latest main branch.

2. Update Package Versions:

Evaluate changes and adhere to Semantic Versioning (semver). Run the relevant command for major, minor or patch changes.

$ pnpm version:bump patch

3. Update Package References:

Now the versions are bumped, but packages that depend on each other are still referencing the old version. Run this command to update all the references across the monorepo.

$ pnpm relink:deps

4. Commit and Pull Request:

Commit the changes. Create a pull request targeting the main branch.

5. Review and Merge:

Await PR approval, then merge it into main to integrate new versions.

6. Publish to NPM:

After merging, trigger the "Publish to NPM" workflow in the Actions tab.

7. Verify and Monitor:

Monitor the workflow progress in GitHub Actions. Confirm successful publication in the npm registry.

You're done!
